DC Comics is once again going back to the playground known as Batman's history.
This time it doesn't appear that monumental changes will be made, and in fact it seems that this time it is more of just fleshing out the Bruce to Batman mythos.
For those who are disenfranchised with the New 52 Batman, this may just be the story line to bring you back.
For those who do, this will just add to the experience!

Every year the Marvel editors and writers get together for the big company retreat and discuss and organize all the plans for their comics over the next year so there aren’t any continuity mistakes in the shared universe.
Usually this is all pretty hush-hush.
Except for this year there was a leak that broke just last week that I found exceptionally disturbing.
Marvel may have plans to kill off Wolverine sometime over the next year.
Y’know, deaths in comics aren't a new thing. Jean Grey’s first demise happened the year I was born, so I was a bit young to remember it, but my older brother had the story and I simply loved it growing up, not so much for Jean Grey dying as much as the fight between The X-Men and the Imperial Guard leading up to it.
Superman’s death was arguably the beginning of the trend of killing off big, marquee characters to sell comic books and gain mainstream attention. And it was very well done. It kept me reading Superman comics for a few years.

When it was first announced that there would be an animated adaptation of Frank Miller’s seminal Batman: Dark Knight Returns, trepidation filled my mind because I wondered if DC would cut corners on the storytelling or cut out the brutal violence of the story.
Luckily my fears were quelled when the first part of the adaptation was like the comic book come to life and left me yearning for more.
The second half of Dark Knight Returns, really ups the stakes in terms of violence, storytelling, and character development. The quality of DC animated films remains alive and well here.
